DESCRIPTION:
(from Syfy's press release, September 2014) Syfy has ordered six additional one-hour episodes of its exciting competition series, Wizard Wars. The series challenges bright and innovative young magicians to impress judges Penn & Teller with mind-blowing, original magic using only a random assortment of everyday objects. The series is expected to return in January 2015, showcasing magicians from Chicago, Philadelphia, Las Vegas and more. Wizard Wars debuted August 19 to over one million Live +SD total viewers tuning in, growing substantially in the timeslot from previous weeks and year-to-year. In Live +7, the premiere grew to 1.3 million total viewers. Wizard Wars' first season so far ranks as Syfy's #1 new unscripted series this year among males. The series has also demonstrated success on Friday nights with its most recent encore showing at 10 p.m. ET/PT (Sept. 5) earning 1.1 million total viewers and growing from that week's new episode. |
